You may think that, but it doesn't necessarily make it a crime.
Something
more has to exist before it reaches that level. In the case of Michael
Jackson, it appears that something more did exist (making that a
criminal matter).


Even in the case of parents, it is definitely
not a good idea and should be discouraged
to the greatest extent possible, although
there are occasional, and rare, times when
it may be OK to comfort the child in unusual circumstances causing
emotional stress.


I have to agree with the others on this. I just don't see any real
risks
associated with a young child sleeping a parent or parents.

I agree with the latter, although it is a nuisance when you can't get the
kids out of your bed, so not a good idea to encourage them. Any harm is
likely to be to the parents, not the kids!

Now, if one spouse is not a biological parent, that's potentially a
different ball game, but I won't go there.

I don't necessarily think that a child sleeping with a non-parent is
always a problem, but in Jacko's case the circumstances are highly
worrying and suspicious.
